    Lovely to have a friend coming round - and yes, you have to tidy up a bit, but then you get the benefit of the tidying for a little while after they've left too :)

    I love it when someone comes to stay despite the state of my house. I hope you have a lovely time with her :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 800/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100
    Debt Free (again) 25/072025

    Lovely to see her for a good while.

    Lodger still near til next week I think.

    Yet more charity paperwork to catch up on this week & some to pass on to the auditor today.
